Yup, I hear ya. I made that same decision last year. Keep Ortiz, Barajas, Matthews, Reyes, Vazquez and maybe take a stab at the top, but more likely stay mired in mediocrity. But I could keep respectable for that stretch, too, instead of going into a total rebuild where I would suck.

Actually, if I had moved Reyes and Vazquez, I probably would have had that phenomenally bad season last year, but maybe would be further on my way this year to getting back to the Classic.

So I'm not sure if I am in a better place or not.
